What difference would having quad core versus dual core have on a TV?

The quad core is a faster processor and will help speed up the Smart features of the TV. All things being equal it should open menus and apps quicker with the quad core. If you plan on using the Smart features then this becomes a significant benefit.

I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. I ran a few games on our computer setup, and they ran much slower than an older computer using a quad core processor. I use it in an HTPC. Most of the tasks are done one at a time, so the dual core works fine. It is fast for light duty applications, but games aren't light duty.

I wouldn't risk using a single core processor, let alone a Celeron. Minimum I would use is any dual core processor system. These days you can get them pretty cheap. It is also important to use a graphic card that has an hdmi out.

Jim Aurouze, Yes, there are dual and quad screen viewing options available. Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions. --Mr. S

The 8600 has a dual core processor (the 7600 has a single core). The 9600 has adds local dimming with nano pixel tech. If I could afford another TV right now, I would purchase a 9600 TODAY! It isn't perfect (wait for the OLED) but it is one of the pinnacles of LCD/LED tech and a joy to behold! LG keeps getting better and better! (I currently own the 6200, 7600 and THE NEW LG Google TV 55G2!! Even the 6200 can be calibrated into near greatness IF you watch in a slightly darkened room) Cheers Marty G

Depends on your definition of better. The F6400 is the 2013 model and the H6400 is the 2014 model. There are a few functionality improvements the H6400 has over the F6400 in my opinion that lead me to choose the H over the F. The H-series has improved SmartHub navigation that makes it easier to find and open different apps. The motion remote also makes it a lot quicker to navigate through the smart apps, etc. No more endless arrow clicking to select the right app. Just point and click. Lastly, the quad-core process in the H-series I think makes the SmartHub experience a lot smoother than on the F-series' dual-core. These are just my (biased) opinions. Choose what feels right to you. I chose the H6400 and have not been disappointed. Overall it's a great TV.

if the CPU is with QM that is Quad Core. Rest all ate Dual core. QM processors are only available in 17R Special Edition and some High end XPS systems.

Basically right now 4k is the newest technology & there's not enough content out in 4k yet. It's a much higher resolution so u probably won't be able to tell the difference anyway. But I'm sure within the next 2 years you'll see 4k at higher hz. My opinion not worth the money right now. Stick with led tv at 240Hz with a quad core processor. Cheaper & will hold up well for a few years

It is dual core BUT not the fastest CPU architecture. You can upgrade to 8G RAM if you need it. The catch: It does not have a dedicated video card intended for gaming. Videos (movies) OK, but I think you need much more power for gaming.I don't do gaming. The fact that other purchasers have not replied to your question, suggests that there are few to no gamers on this type of device (or they don't bother to read the questions here). If gaming is your application, then look for suggestions on web sites devoted to gamers.

The most important is the cpu (S2 duos dual core 1,2 ghz vs S3 Duos quad core 1,5 ghz)

The 2 cores listed on the specs is most likely a typo. It is in fact a quad core i5.

This is common knowledge to owners of both types of tvs due to research and from personal experience over the years. Just google it and you will find all the evidence that you need.

You know I have both types but only view one at a time and have not done a comparison. One thing I will say about this particular TV is that I would not buy it again. While watching regular Movies or Shows on Netflix or Amazon prime I see motion blur and the the internet connectivity is so sensitive that daily drops out to search for a signal all the while a 2 year older Samsung TV 40' away on the same wireless network doesn't drop out.

Onboard video depends on the processor. You would need to use an APU processor with video.

It's borderline for 1080p Youtube videos: Some play smoothly while others exhibit dropped frames every two seconds or so. CPU ultilization is never maxed out though. So it seems as though the Intel Integrated Graphics Processor isn't quite up to the task.

Ah....the customer service rep I talked to said the description (Dual Core) is right and the title (Quad Core)is wrong. Conflicting stories I guess. He said that Amazon does the title, the supplier does the technical description. Though it looks like now the technical description has been changed to say "Quad Core" The retail price looks like it matches the current retail price of the Dual 3.0 Quad Core...I don't know, your guess is as good as mine!

Every other website lists this as a dual core and AMD says it's a dual core CPU, so I don't think it is quad.
